BAY 38-7271 is a new high-affinity cannabinoid receptor agonist with strong neuroprotective efficacy in a rat model of traumatic brain injury (acute subdural hematoma, SDH). In the present study we investigated CB1 receptor signal transduction by [35S]GTPgammaS binding in situ and in vitro to assess
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is one of the most common and devastating cerebrovascular events that affect premature infants, resulting in a significant socioeconomic burden. However, GMH has been largely unpreventable, and clinical treatments are mostly inadequate. In the present study, we
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is the most common neurological disease of premature newborns leading to detrimental neurological sequelae. Minocycline has been reported to play a key role in neurological inflammatory diseases by controlling some mechanisms that involve cannabinoid receptor 2
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in adults under 40 years of age in industrialized countries. Worldwide the incidence is increasing, about 9.5 million people are hospitalized per year due to TBI, and the death rate is estimated to be more than one
Importance: Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), commonly known as K2, spice, or fake weed, are cheap, artificially manufactured recreational drugs that have emerged as a major public health threat in various regions of the US.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the protective effect of paeoniflorin on hippocampal neurons in rats subjected to cerebral ischemia and reperfusion through activating cannabinoid receptor 2 (CBR2).
METHODS
A total of 144 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, cerebral
Microglia accumulation plays detrimental roles in the pathology of germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) in the immature preterm brain. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here, we investigated the effects of a cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) agonist on microglia proliferation and the
Typical features of pneumococcal meningitis have been demonstrated in rats inoculated with Streptococcus pneumoniae. HU-211, a novel noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist recently demonstrated to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha production under various conditions, improves recovery in
Vascular dementia is the second most common cause of cognitive decline in aged people but the effectual therapeutic target is still missing. Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) has been widely found in vascular dementia (VaD) patients. CCH is thought to link with neurodegenerative disorders and
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its consequences represent one of the leading causes of death in young adults. This lesion mediates glial activation and the release of harmful molecules and causes brain edema, axonal injury, and functional impairment. Since glial activation plays a key role in the
We reported earlier that closed head injury (CHI) in mice causes a sharp elevation of brain 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) levels, and that exogenous 2-AG reduces brain edema, infarct volume and hippocampal death and improved clinical recovery after CHI. The beneficial effect of 2-AG was attenuated
Traumatic brain injury triggers the accumulation of harmful mediators that may lead to secondary damage. Protective mechanisms to attenuate damage are also set in motion. 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous cannabinoid, identified both in the periphery and in the brain, but its
